Acts of oratory so powerful, so thundering, and so moving that we have to post them to share. From Cicero to Keyes, from Obama to Patton, and King Jr. to Lenin, movements of the soul through movements through the tongue have moved mankind so poignantly, and here we seek to collect the best oral performances in history.

Rules

Follow reddiquette.
Any form of oratory is allowed, not only video. Practising redditors are encouraged.
